Lois Green, 67, director of pharmacy at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, died Jan. 10. The former Lois Weinman, she was a resident of Independence Place in Center City.

Green earned her bachelor’s degree from Temple Uni­versity. Shortly af­-ter graduation, she moved to Aspen, Co., for several years where she worked as a waitress and enjoyed cross-country skiing.

She returned to Philadelphia where she met her husband, real estate developer, Abner Green. It was her husband, now deceased, who suggested that she pursue a career in pharmacy. With his support and encouragement, she returned to Temple University to complete her pharmacy degree.

A believer in life-long learning, Green took French lessons and was learning bridge and tennis. She also believed in giving back to her community and was a member of the board of directors of the Park­inson Council.

Green is survived by her daughter, Jane Green; a brother, Ron Weinman; and two grandchildren.
